From his home studio in Santa Barbara, California, James "Ukulele Jim" Clark uses the convenience of the Internet to work with talented musicians from all over the world, creating an international 'virtual group' free from geographical boundaries. This collaborative freedom allows Jim to switch styles between acoustic solo pieces to songs with a full band sound. He is primarily self-taught, drawing from a large pool of influences such as George Harrison, James Hill, Boulder Acoustic Society, Barenaked Ladies, and The Magnetic Fields, just to name a few.
When he's not recording or performing, Jim writes webcomics and graphic novels. He can usually be found busking for the crowds at comic book conventions.
Dance with Me
Ukulele Jim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why don't you dance with me
Come on and dance with me right now
It's a beautiful night and the time is right
and I'm ready to show you how
Take my hand and listen to the band
because they got it goin' on real loud
They're playin' our song, let's sing along
If you wanna dance with me
Get up and move your feet
Sway like a willow tree, swing to the groovy beat
Jump like a little flea, the evening won't be complete
Until you have another dance with me
Dance with me
Why don't you dance with me
Come out and dance with me tonight
The music is playing, everybody is swaying
Outside in the pale moonlight
Hold me closer and don't say "no, sir"
And everything will be all right
Whatcha waitin' for? Let's hit the floor
and together we can dance all night
If you wanna dance with me
Get up and move your feet
Sway like a willow tree, swing to the groovy beat
Jump like a little flea, the evening won't be complete
Until you have another dance with me
I'm sliding on my knees
Begging you darlin' please
If you wanna be through with me
I hereby set you free
But before you take your leave
I have a request of thee
Have another dance with me
Dance with me
Why don't you dance with me
Come on and dance with me right now
It's a beautiful night and the time is right
and I'm ready to show you how
Take my hand and listen to the band
because they got it goin' on real loud
They're playin' our song, let's sing along
and have another dance right now
If you wanna dance with me
Get up and move your feet
Sway like a willow tree, swing to the groovy beat
Jump like a little flea, the evening won't be complete
Until you have another dance with me
Have another dance with me
Spin like a 33
Hula with the ukulele
Have another dance with me!
